I had the amazing opportunity to interview someone I have long admired, Stephanie Nielson.
She recently wrote her first book, “Heaven is Here”.
It chronicles her experience recovering after being burned on nearly 80% of her body in a plane crash.
My eyes started glistening more than once…If you want to be truly inspired, I would highly recommend reading it.
If you want to watch the interview, you can go here.

I can’t believe it has almost been a month since the big day!

We absolutely loved our photographer CEEBEE, she did a great job and got the look we were hoping for. 

I was up in the air about getting my makeup professionally done, but in the end decided I wanted to look like myself in the photos, so I did it myself.

Shannon at I’m Beautiful did my hair. She is the bomb.

For our groomal session, we made a last minute decision to go up Emigration Canyon.

As far as bridal fashion goes, I found my dress at Gateway Bridal. 

It was a size 24, strapless, and I didn’t like the top half… so I found a great alteration shop and they basically rebuilt the entire dress!

I got my shoes from Shabby Apple, you can find them here.

 I married a J.Crew model 🙂 Sam found his suit at Express. He also got it tailored so it fit him just perfectly! He bought his tie at J.Crew and shoes at ALDO.

This was by far my favorite moment during the groomal session. I am so happy we decided to do a first look. It was so fun to see the look on Sam’s face when he saw me.
